ProCompression Sock *Giveaway*

Giddy Up, it’s a surprise Giveaway!!! I’m excited to say that I’m doing a *Giveaway* for a pair of PROCompression socks! {Open to everyone}.

Remember a few weeks ago when I wrote this post: I Wear My Compression Socks at Night ….bet your singing that song again 😉 Well, I have been wearing my compression socks A LOT! They are my go to recovery now that I’m running 20-30km a week!

Last year I did a review of PROCompression socks, you can read that here –> My review.

WHY COMPRESSION SOCKS? Why not!

Kidding. On a serious note, compression socks can help your muscles and body recover and help reduce injury. Compression socks help increase blood flow which equals a faster recovery time. Yes, please!

I found when putting compression socks on your feet/legs it can be challenging the first times you do it 😉 I relate it to a wrestling match with a baby when you are trying to change their diaper. Okay, I’m kinda kidding….but I’m kinda not. Over time I have perfected putting mine on but at first it was quite entertaining.

My happy feet post run last night:

Piper’s Post Run Recovery 🙂

Last week I ran 29 kilometers, {#ATWRBR2014}. That’s the most I’ve run per week this year and am at 199 km in total for the year….I totally should have run 6km yesterday instead of 5km but wasn’t paying attention. Oh well, I’ll get it in today! I also got a new PB 5k during my run Friday at lunch! Needless to say, I’ve had some tired muscles this past week and have been relying heavily on my compression socks to help recover, along with some stretching and Yoga.

One lucky reader (open to anyone) can win. The contest will run all this week and close 12/4/14.

Please fill out the Rafflecopter below as this is where I will select a winner from:

Woo hoo, giveaways are the best! One of my favorite ways to recover from a long run includes a pale ale and some serious food. A nice hot shower does the trick, too. I’d love a pair of ProCompression socks to add to the routine.

If I didn’t have to come home and take care of 4 kids under 5, I’d probably do more in the realm of recovery 🙂 Currently, chocolate milk (or white milk) and a good meal are my top thing. Compression socks would be great because I could slip those on and still take care of the kids 😉 I do love multi-tasking.

Now that I’m tackling my first ultra in July, I’m definitely in the market for compression socks. Right now my recovery involves chocolate milk and PB after a hard run and then stretching and foam rolling. Would love to try these socks out!
